18、2年年，法國(guó)國(guó)王查理九世決定采用一種新的歷法——格高利歷法，新年改在1月1日。在新歷法的推行過(guò)程中，各地仍有一些人或是不原意接受新歷法，或是不知道這一日期的更改，仍然在4月1日這天過(guò)新年。其他的人便捉弄他們，贈(zèng)送他們假禮物，邀請(qǐng)他們參加假慶祝晚會(huì)，騙他們?nèi)ヅ芡?，或使他們?duì)某種根本不存在的事情信以為真。這些受騙的人被稱為“四月愚人”。,愚人節(jié)的由來(lái),從此，人們?cè)?月1日這一天便互相愚弄，日久天長(zhǎng)，便成為法國(guó)流行的風(fēng)俗。十八世紀(jì)初，“愚人

19、節(jié)”的習(xí)俗傳到英國(guó)。后來(lái)，隨著英國(guó)移民又傳到了美國(guó)。隨著時(shí)間的流逝，這一習(xí)俗已經(jīng)成為國(guó)際性節(jié)日，在歐洲、北美許多國(guó)家都流行。這一天，人們可以不拘一格地“輕松”一下。當(dāng)然愚弄人的手法也是花樣百出。     關(guān)于受愚弄的人，在不同的國(guó)家給予不同的稱呼。大部分人都稱他們?yōu)椤八脑掠奕恕薄５袝r(shí)，有的國(guó)家也有其他的稱呼。在法國(guó)人們把上當(dāng)者稱為“四月魚(yú)”，可能是因?yàn)樗脑吕?，魚(yú)最容易上鉤的緣故吧；而在英國(guó)的蘇
